On a related note, I have just run into an issue using -by()- suboptions
with -twoway- graphs in a .do file. On the command line everything works
as expected, however, when attempting to run from a .do file, I get
parentheses mismatch errors. This only occurs when attempting to include
suboptions, actually, just when the comma is included, even if no
suboptions are specified. I am running 8.2 on XP.
I am wondering if anyone else has encountered this or can duplicate it.
And if so, is there a work-around or solution?
Thanks

The note at the bottom is a direct
consequence of your typing
twoway (scatter viral age), by(race)
Stata takes your option
by(race)
and automatically forms the note "Graphs by race".
You can override the default:
twoway (scatter viral age), by(race, note(""))
The explicit empty string (or blanks) is enough for Stata to take
the hint. Note that -note()- is a suboption of -by()-.
